How To Make Easy Air Fryer Biscuit Donut Holes

Easy Air Fryer Biscuit Donut Holes Recipe Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the basket – Leave space so the donut holes cook evenly and get golden on all sides.
- Flip halfway through – This ensures they brown nicely and stay fluffy inside.
- Work in batches – Depending on your air fryer size, smaller batches give the best results.
- Coat while warm – Toss donut holes in cinnamon sugar right after cooking so it sticks perfectly.
- Try different coatings – Glaze them, drizzle with chocolate, or dust with powdered sugar for fun variations.
